A meeting of North Korea's rubber-stamp parliament, the Supreme People's Assembly (SPA), is scheduled for Feb. 6 in view of the nation's deteriorating economic outlook. The North's parliament rarely meets and often serves to approve budgets and governing structures made by the country's powerful Workers' Party, whose members compose the majority of the assembly.

According to KCNA news agency, the February cabinet meeting will focus on government budgets, childcare reform, and the law protecting overseas compatriots' rights.
